Shinichi Nitta

Sasaki's friend has a minor role in the story but is often the hero during intense moments of the game. He excels at setting up offside traps that have saved his team on multiple occasions when they were under attack by dangerous opponents. Despite being skilled at defense, he occasionally makes mistakes while trying to tackle opponents alone, which allows more advanced players to easily regain possession and launch a counterattack against Kakegawa's team.
